When people think of future cars, a lot of times they picture them as cars that portray slick, beautiful, sex-appealing design and overpowering technical specifications. But the real purpose of developing future cars is to install upon them new energy sources to increase their eco-friendliness, to make them more sustainable, less polluting, more energy efficient, and on top of all, safer.
Due to the depleting amount of oil, in which it is predicted to come to an end in roughly 50 years, car manufacturers are exercising various technological methods to increase energy efficiency in pursuit of energy savings. Some of these energy-saving technologies include regenerative braking, which its sole purpose is to reduce speed by converting its kinetic energy into another useful form. There is also a technology called Turbostreamer, used to convert the heat produced from internal combustion engines to mechanical energy, thus increasing fuel efficiency by 15%. The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics will lead vehicles to absorb less energy to push through the air, and it is very effective especially in the fast lane or highway speeds.
It is becoming evident that electrical-infused hybrid cars or PHEV are soon to be customary for public use. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Cars) are hybrid cars with an added battery. As the name suggests, plug-in hybrid vehicles mostly use electricity, not gasoline. This electricity is extracted from normal energy sources, and it is capable of generating efficiently. These hybrid cars are produced for the greater sustain of energy source and water. Although overall efficiency does not exceed that of internal combustion engine vehicles, hydrogen cars are less complex and more capable of transmitting sustainable electricity directly into the vehicle's batteries.
As the number of PHEV consumer increases, it clearly states that this technology will be the keystone of future cars. Toyota, GM, and Ford are among the car corporations that are engaged in the mass-production of Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles. There appears to be a strong market value for plug-in hybrids, and it can all be credited to the better gas savings and lesser emission that help consumers save more money.
